THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2014 I NOW HAVE A RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR THIS RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOW AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND DELAY FOR REPAIR OF THE BRAKES AS RELATED TO THIS SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO HAVE A RECALL FOR SUN VISOR LAMP WIRING AND PER MY DEALER IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR SITUATION WHICH SLOW RECEIPT OF PARTS FOR THIS ALSO. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THIS RECALL. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURES GET BELOW FREEZING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. *TR

    MY COMPLAINT IS WITH CHRYSLER, I CONTACTED MY DEALER OVER A MONTH AGO REGARDING SAFETY RECALL P14, I AM ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 2 OF A LIST OF CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE CONTACTED THEM TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS NECESSARY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY THIS MORNING AND THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A TIME FRAME OF WHEN PARTS WILL BE DISPERSED TO THE DEALERS EITHER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I LIVE IN NORTHERN NEW YORK (ALONG CANADIAN BORDER), SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE VERY COMMON AND POTENTIALLY WILL BE HERE VERY SOON. CHRYSLER IS DISTRIBUTING TO ALL DEALERSHIPS EQUALLY, BUT MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THE DEALERSHIPS/CUSTOMERS THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT (VERY NORTHERN, WHO EXPERIENCE SUB-FREEZING WEATHER). I FEEL THAT IF THIS WAS A PRIORITY TO CHRYSLER, MY VEHICLE WOULD BE FIXED ALREADY. WOULD THEY RATHER HAVE PEOPLE KILLED AND BE FACED WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF LAWSUITS, THAN GET THIS FIXED? I CONSIDER THIS A HUGE SAFETY VIOLATION AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO GET THESE PARTS OUT TO DEALERSHIPS IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP GET THIS RESOLVED VERY SOON. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. THANK YOU. *TR

    I AM TRYING TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT I AM HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A SAFETY RECALL FIXED. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO DIFFERENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL. ONE IN MAY AND ANOTHER IN SEPTEMBER. HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ON THE FIRST RECALL I WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST. ON THE SECOND RECALL I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EVEN SPEAK WITH ANYONE AS I GET AN ANSWERING SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. DO NOT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO AT THIS TIME. *TR

    I TOOK MY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TWO RECALLS ADDRESSED, BOTH REGARDING THE BRAKES, I BELIEVE. UPON WORKING ON THE VEHICLE, THE MASTER CYLINDER "FELL APART," ACCORDION TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR. THE MASTER CYLINDER IS ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER, AND I WILL BE IN A RENTAL UNTIL "MID-NOVEMBER 2014." REALLY? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HOW DOES A MASTER CYLINDER "FALL APART"? *TR
